I understood hybrid and cross breed as the same thing. Not sure what the exact definition says though?
Technically M.balfouri and P.murinus shouldn't be able to breed as they are different genera, but who knows.
What different sub species are there in Poecilotheria? Do you mean different species?

On the C.brachycephalus "hobby form" side in regard to the mortality rate:
I received C.brachycephalus and the "hobby form" (C.darlingi x C.brachycephalus) slings at the same time and have more "hobby forms" that survived.
Who knows.

I am as curious into the experiment as you are Scarab.

Keep us posted if you do go that route.

Exactly my point.
If you put out information/ideas for people to follow on then yes, its also your fault for the damage caused.

And the ball starts rolling

Creator, according to a very simple little explanation by a trusted online dictionary (yes, such things exist) cross breeding and hybridization are synonyms.

I don't think M balfouri and P murinus will not even have tea together, but we won't know until we pour a cup or two.

As for Poecilotheria, I am convinced they will mate. I am also quite sure my P fasciata will drop a sac after. What I don't know (yet) is the state of the resulting babies, if any.

I can not disagree more unfortunately. At what point does PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY kick in? At what point can an individual take RESPONSIBILITY for their own actions? At what point will the human race STOP PASSING THE BUCK? Are you telling me that the Chinese who invented Gun Powder in the second half of the 19th century are responsible for the actions of modern society? Come on mate, we should take stock of what we as individuals do, and stop placing blame elsewhere.

Edit: Furthermore:

Is the gun shop owner responsible for the family suicide?
Is the bike shop owner responsible for the speeding biker?
Is the rifle manufacturer responsible for the Rhino crisis?
Are the voters responsible for the billions wasted by our government?

I could continue but do not wish to insult any intelligence that might be around. If all took RESPONSIBILITY for their actions, shit would be less prevalent.
